The royal personal carriage was traveling on the road to the general's mansion. In the carriage, Eunuch Wu was holding the imperial edict in his hand. His face, which was too pale to be a normal man's, revealed a treacherous intention from the bones.
Ha, it's too late for Puyang Zheng to redeem the young eunuch now, right? He really thinks the emperor is a fool.
Eunuch Wu is the person who knows the emperor best. As a favorite who serves the emperor closely and the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would have died countless times in the palace if he didn't know how to read people's expressions
. Eunuch Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with Puyang Zheng's matter. This should be the emperor's style, to prevent it before it happens. There is no emperor who is not suspicious. The fact that the emperor asked him to announce the edict today is the best proof.
- The emperor does not believe Puyang Zheng.
Except for the ignorant people and the angry prime minister, probably everyone could see that redeeming the young man was just a delaying tactic of Puyang Zheng.
"Eunuch, the general's residence has arrived."
A cautious smile suddenly appeared on the crimson lips, as if the strangled voice was sharper than a woman's, and he said, "Go, report it."
The servant who received the order hurriedly went to report it. After a while, the housekeeper of the general's residence led people over and stood in a row respectfully to welcome Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu came down with a fake smile on his face, and his shrill voice revealed an incomparable familiarity: "I came here unexpectedly, I hope I didn't disturb the general..." He looked around and asked in surprise: "Hey? Is the general not at home?"
"The general is still in the chamber, I will send someone to inform..."
"No need!"
Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Wu's voice rang again.
"It's my fault for coming here. How could I ask the general to come out to see me? Or the housekeeper can take me there and inform me at the door of the chamber."
"This..."
"What? Are you embarrassing the housekeeper?"
"...Ah, no, no, no, eunuch, please follow me here."
As a servant, the housekeeper still had to give Eunuch Wu more respect.
Leading Eunuch Wu all the way to the courtyard of Puyang Zheng's study, his private room and Qi Yan's private room are both in this courtyard... Although I don't know whether it is good or bad for Eunuch Wu to see Qi Yan, there is nothing that can be done about it.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the housekeeper felt something was wrong.
- All the servants serving here were gone.
Going deeper, bursts of groaning and panting came from the left private room, making some servants blush.
It was a man's voice, seductive and pleasant, accompanied by another man's hoarse roar.
Others may not know, but Eunuch Wu knows best what that sound is.
The voice of passion, and it's from two men.
The study is an important place, except for the general, who else dares to do such a thing in the general's mansion?
The already small eyes narrowed instantly, hiding a gleam of suspicion in them.
The housekeeper seemed a little embarrassed. He turned around awkwardly and glanced at Eunuch Wu, only to see him nod slightly and point to the imperial edict held in the hands of the other eunuchs behind him, meaning that there could be no delay.
The housekeeper gritted his teeth and walked to the left chamber and knocked on the door, "General, Eunuch Wu from the palace is here."
"Let him wait!"
The heavy gasps were followed by Puyang Zheng's suppressed roar.
Then, there were slapping sounds from the chamber, one after another, with occasional whispers of "gentle" and "slow down", as well as suppressed moans.
Until now, Eunuch Wu began to doubt his previous thoughts.
Is this really the eunuch that Puyang Zheng casually redeemed to solve his urgent needs?
He said he didn't love her? But she lived in the courtyard of the study, a key place in the mansion. She left the eunuch sent by the emperor to announce the decree in broad daylight just to satisfy her own desires, and she followed the eunuch who was at the center of the storm...
Eunuch Wu felt that he could not see through this unpopular general's mansion on weekdays.
